OAK RIDGE

To the Editor:

The Parkinson’s Support Group of East Tennessee (PK Hope Is Alive) held its 2nd annual fundraising walk in Oak Ridge on April 13, 2013. Over $20,000 was raised — exceeding last year’s total by $3,000.

There were more than 150 walkers on a beautiful spring morning. Coach Joe Gaddis of Oak Ridge High School was the official starter of the walk. There were drawings for some great prizes donated by Oak Ridge merchants and face painting provided by Deborah Eason and Viola Redman. Information booths were set up by Medtronic, East Tennessee Personal Care Services, Amedisys Home Health, and Methodist Medical Center physical and speech therapists.
